Economic theory suggests that free trade has the potential to benefit all parties. Briefly describe this theory.

Drop any environmental regulation and kill the trades unions so i can practice unfettered capitlism, and when i get so, so rich, i promise i'll give you a cut . . . no, really, i will . . .

This is a question I've always had as well.
Marxist theory suggests that communism has the potential to benefit all parties.
This query looks like a test question. Will this be on the final, prof?

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I'll refer you to David Friedman's textbook "Price Theory", accessible online
here. In particular, you want to read
Chapter 6: Simple Trade. The theory you want to know more about is called "Comparative Advantage", and it's discussed about a third of the way down the page.
Hope that helped
Game Theory
I wonder, are you trying to complete an exam like everyone assumes?
I believe that what you are looking for is game theory. I'm not well versed in the economics of game theory, I study the evolutionary implications/applications of this theory. But, if you want to talk about hawks & doves, then I"m your man.
Yes, it has the potential to benefit all parties- the "parties" being the traders themselves, those who own and operate commerce and business. ...not the people at large.
